The Journey Lyrics - Live 2013 - Mott The Hoople

(ian hunter) 

All the changes they will take their time 

In the morning dust they'll begin to rise 

Halfway to a borderline 

Well I can see the end 

For the very first time 

Well I know I lost just a little bit on the journey 

When my mind's been split by little things that didn't fit on the way 

Oh I know I lost just a little bit on the journey 

'cos I'm trying so hard to get going 

There's a man on a bridge called suicide 

And he hides his head while the coast is dark 

And the river drags and the water sways 

Oh his rags've seen better days 

And I guess he lost just a little bit on the journey 

For his mind was split by little things that didn't fit on the way 

(oh) yes I know he lost just a little bit on the journey 

For every gift he had to give 

For every life (yeah) he had to live 

Well they meant nothing without her to guide him on his way 

Well he told her he was a leader 

Of a well respected [load] 

But when he tried to leave her 

Well she looked right down her nose 

Many times he tried to make her believe in herself 

But she wouldn't listen to a word he said 

Well he followed her though the darkness 

All the chances I take 

He followed her though the wilderness 

Her mystery to break 

Many times he tried to make her believe in herself 

But she wouldn't listen to a word he said 

So for 40 days and for 40 nights 

Well they tied my [ways] they can see the light 

And the angel screamed in my nightmare ride 

And the changes left (yeah) but they will take their time 

And I guess I lost just a little bit on the journey 

Yes I know I lost just a little bit on the way 

I know I lost just a little bit on the journey 

Oh I know I lost just a little bit on the journey 

Yes I guess I lost just a little bit on the way 

Yes I know I lost just a little bit on the journey 

(everybody's got a journey)
